Abstract Concept empiricism: A treatment of the evidence for the amodal representational vehicles. In the last decades, the empiricist theories of concepts have managed to have a certain weight in psychology and in philosophy. In this paper I intend to evaluate the empirical support that Prinz's theory of concepts (2002, 2005) possesses, according to which all concepts and cognitive processes are conveyed by modal representations. In particular, I intend to evaluate if, and to what extent, the empirical evidence cited by the empiricism of concepts is favorable to this theory and, secondly, I intend to consider the case of numerical representations, while it seems to be a case that It challenges the sufficiency of concept empiricism to account for all the phenomena that a theory of concepts should explain
Keywords : concept empiricism; amodal representations; modal representations; representational vehicles.
